Five Investments You Can Skip
Stanford Social Innovation Review: It seems like every week a new report is released calling for nonprofits to adopt a practice or increase investment in yet another area of their organization. The list of things a nonprofit must do to be effective is now miles long and ridiculous.
As a leader of one of the largest capacity-building organizations in the country, I want to let you in on a little secret. You can ignore nearly all these findings and best practices.
'Hamlet' On An Elevator? The Bard Gets A New Venue
NPR: Wearing suits and somewhat harried expressions, veteran actors Michael Rothhaar and Tony Pasqualini blend right in with the lunch crowd of this Los Angeles office building.
As they head into the packed elevator, Rothhaar and Pasqualini jockey for a spot in the back. When the doors close, that's their cue.
Uncomfortable Thoughts: Is Shouting About Arts Funding Bad for the Arts?
Createquity.: Advocates for the arts might be better off doing their work under the radar than trying so hard to get a lot of media and public attention when fighting for public funding of the arts.

'Peter Pan' flies again with Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre
Pittsburgh Tribune-Review: A good story will be told often. Peter Pan, for example, has had more lives than a cat. When Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre last presented a Peter Pan in 2007, the production's many charms did not include a Tinker Bell. That will be corrected with flair when the company mounts a different production next weekend. "Tinker Bell is a fun role, definitely humor spiked," says principal dancer Julia Erickson. "She has spunk. She's a fairy, so she's got those ethereal qualities. She quirky, easily distracted, definitely has a good heart but gets her bun ruffled every once in a while."
Marat/Sade: Audiences walk out of 'perverse' RSC show
BBC News: Audiences have been walking out of the Royal Shakespeare Company's production of Marat/Sade, which features scenes of nudity and torture.
At one preview show, 80 theatregoers left the show at the interval.

Given Age Discrimination, Should Actors Be Allowed To Lie About Their Ages?
ThinkProgress: This is one of those situations where my instincts as a journalist, and my instincts as an advocate for feminism in entertainment come into conflict.
